Unforgiving debtor week

11 - 17 September 2011

Proper 19

Matthew 18.21-35

Context

Reading to the end of Matthew 18, we encounter more of Jesus’ practical teaching on Christian living, illuminated this week through a parable.

Common thread: Forgive (Matthew 18.21-35)

The process of reconciliation is further explored, focusing specifically on the experience and practice of forgiveness. Listeners are left in no doubt that the practice of forgiveness is fundamental to a Christian way of life.

An alternative thread, We do not live to ourselves, drawing on Romans 14.1-12, concludes the series of sermons on readings from Romans.

These resources were first published in Issue 55 September/October 2011.
